If a school closes without providing adequate student notice, the WTECB provides transition assistance to the students including information regarding: transfer options, financial aid
discharge procedures, labor market and job placement assistance, and other available support services.

| OH | Adopted 02/2007 | P-12 | Revises criteria for awarding the diploma with honors for both the college preparatory and career-technical curriculum options, effective with the Class of 2011. Reduces criteria eligible students must meet to 7 out of 8 for both curriculum options (through Class of 2010, students must meet 8 out of 9 criteria for the college preparatory option or 9 out of 10 for the career-technical option. Changes references to curriculum options from "vocational" to "career-technical" and from "college preparatory" to "more rigorous high school academic curriculum". Increases the units to be completed by students in both curriculum options as follows:
More rigorous high school academic curriculum option:
--4 units of math (previously 3 units); 4th unit math must be a higher-level course
--4 units of science (previously 3), including 1 unit each of physics and chemistry (neither course previously required)
--4 units of social studies (previously 3)
Also eliminates the criterion that students complete 1 unit business technology and 2 additional units in core courses.
Career-technical curriculum option:
--4 units of math (previously 3); including Algebra II and another higher-level course (previously just algebra and geometry specifically required)
--4 units of science (previously 3), including 1 unit each of physics and chemistry (neither course previously required)
--4 units of social studies (previously 3)
--4 units in student's career-technical education program (previously 3). Specifies that career-technical education program must lead to an industry-recognized credential or apprenticeship, or be part of an articulated career pathway that can lead to postsecondary credit, unless the student's program design does not provide for any of these outcomes, in which case the student must meet the proficiency benchmark for the applicable Ohio career-technical competency assessment.
Eliminates reference to "career passport". Eliminates criterion of 2 units foreign language or business/technology and criterion of 2 additional units in fine arts or core courses.
Specifies that minimum ACT/SAT scores for honors diploma eligibility do not include the writing portion of either test.
